VisualChaos Studios Wedding Photography

Your wedding day is so exciting that it can race past without you having time to notice the results of all your careful planning. Through all your years together, you will come to rely on your wedding album as the most complete reminder of your happy day. This is why choosing the right wedding photographer for you is so important. 

Bride Getting ReadyVisualChaos Studios based near crawley, west sussex, is comprised of professionally qualified husband and wife team, Steve and Sarah Fisher. We work independently or we can be hired together but in any event we are there to capture all the excitement and atmosphere of your day. We are passionate about wedding photography and thoroughly enjoy providing our customers with beautiful and creative wedding memories that we hope they will enjoy together throughout their married life.

Our wedding photography packages are both competitive and flexible; if you don't see what you are looking for come and talk to us and we will put together something that is tailor-made just for you. Don't forget to check out our wedding promotions page for up to date discount options!

The first thing to do is decide on what coverage you require. Use the tabs above to view the coverage options. This is the most important decision as this gets you booked in and your wedding date secured. We don't usually worry about the choice of wedding album choice prior to the wedding as we believe you won’t really know what you want until you have seen your images. You may decide on a print only package, or may be a traditional overlay wedding album, or may be the new contemporary storybook albums from GraphiStudio.com. Some clients prefer to have their images presented on CD at high resolution so that they can print and design their own album - the options are detailed in the 'Wedding Albums' tab above.

Bride PosingWhatever coverage and presentation choice you decide upon, you can rest assured that we will provide you with very best care, consideration and attention. From the consideration of photographic style you prefer to the creation of albums and prints that will give you wonderful memories for years to come and just as importantly, a wonderful heirloom of memories for your children and grandchildren!

We hope you will visit us soon to talk over your wedding plans - we will certainly look forward to it...

Professional Wedding Photogrpahy covering Crawley Down, Crawley, East Grinstead, Horsham, Haywards Heath and surrounding areas in West Sussex and the UK

Wedding Photography Coverage

The first decision that you need to make is when you would like the photographic coverage of your day to begin and to end. We offer three options to make your selection from. We separate coverage form the final wedding album so that you are free to choose what album or presentation option you would like once you have seen the images. Also, you pay less prior to the wedding as you don't pay for the presentation option that you choose until after the wedding, which helps with that all important cash flow! Read our blog for an overview on todays wedding photography styles...

Standard Wedding Coverage - £695
Coverage begins with the groom and his party at the venue before the ceremony starts and continues until you sit down for your wedding breakfast.  Coverage at two venues, if you are marrying at one and holding your reception at another is not a problem  

Extended Wedding Coverage -£795
With this option, we will meet the bridal party as they get ready to capture all the day’s preparations.  Coverage then continues until you sit down for your wedding breakfast with the last shot of the day traditionally being a staged ‘cutting of the cake’.

Full Day Wedding Coverage - £995
This is our most complete coverage of the day as we will begin at the bridal preparations and remain with you until your first dance in the evening.

Before your Wedding
We can offer a wealth of help and advice in terms of planning your wedding in order to obtain the best photographic results and you are encouraged to visit our studios in Crawley Down, Near Crawley for a full pre-wedding consultation as you begin to make arrangements for your big day. This will prove an invaluable planning tool and is included in the price!

In the week prior to your wedding, we will be in touch again in order to finalise plans and timings for the day.  If you prefer (and we certainly recommend) we can meet at our studios in Crawley Down for a face to face discussion.

After your Wedding
Approximately 2 to 4 weeks after your wedding, you are invited to view your wedding images for the very first time at our studios in Crawley Down.  At this point, you will receive your Presentation CD containing all the images in your wedding collection (at low resolution and with copyright watermarks) to take away with you to help you make your final image selection and to view with your family and friends. Take a look at this sample from a recent wedding to get an idea of how the slideshow works - Sample Wedding Slideshow Presentation

You will also make your album / storybook selection and design choices and talk over any wall art you would like.  Please see the Wedding Album Tab above for an idea of the image presentation options that are available.

A selection of your images will also be uploaded to our secure web site and you will receive  instructions on how to access them as well as your unique password to allow your guests to browse and buy online.

Frequently Asked Questions

If we decide to book with you, what is the deposit required?
In order to secure your booking, we ask for a £250 deposit. The balance is payable a fortnight before your wedding date. Should you cancel your wedding you will loose this deposit, which goes towards the losses incurred by the Studio

What are have your other customers had to say?
Click here for our feed-back page.

When can we contact you?
We are available from Monday to Friday from 10am to 6pm.  Visits to the Studio in Crawley Down are by appointment only, please call us on 01342 716393 if you would like to make an appointment.  Unfortunately we are not available at the weekends or bank holidays for meetings.

What's the best way to contact you?
We can be reached by phone, skype, or email -click here for our contact details.  However, we are fully committed to maximising our use of electronic communications both for the reasons of speed and convenience as well as to reduce paper usage from an environmental standpoint.  So having the correct email address for you is really important - and that we are updated if you change your address when you change your name following the wedding. 

What happens if our photographer is ill on the day?
It hasn't ever happened yet, but in the unlikely event that we are incapacitated to the point that they cannot attend your wedding, we have a number of photographers that we have worked with in the past that we would contact to step in. Failing this, we would turn to the British Institute of Professional Photographers to recommend us a replacement or to help in anyway.

Do you charge for travel expenses?
As a rule we don’t charge for travel expenses. However, if your wedding is outside of our normal area, we do reserve the right to charge mileage (at 42p per mile). However we will make you fully aware of this if it applies to you, at the quotation stage so there won’t be any surprises on your final invoice.

Do you photograph more than one wedding on a single day?
We never book to attend more than one wedding on a day as we feel it would be unfair on both couples in not getting the attention that their wedding deserves.

Do you have any advice for winter weddings?
Unfortunately, the human eye is far more sophisticated than a camera and so when you are planning a winter wedding, you need to consider the light available.  As a general rule of thumb, the earlier in the day that you have your ceremony, the more available light that you will have for your photography.  Of course if your ceremony is later or the weather is bad, then it is worth making sure that your venue has a suitable indoor space for photography. If you would like specific advice to then we're happy to help.

How many photographs do you take at a wedding?
The answer to this depends on a number of factors, such as the time between the reception and ceremony, the number of guests, the number of locations involved etc. However, we would expect to take between 700 – 950 and present you with the best of those (usually about 300 – 450), however, we do not sensor what you see, we just delete the technical inadequate images and let you see the rest.

Will we see every picture that you take?
No, we will go through all the pictures that we have taken and strip out any unviable images, ‘blink shots’ and duplicates and present you with the best of the best from which to make your selection. The amount of pictures that you will see is usually between 300 – 750, however, we don't plan on a given number, it will be what it will be.

Do you use film or digital cameras?
Our photography is all digital – the quality is so good and the flexibility so much wider, that we don’t work with film at all - AT LAST!!

What cameras do you use?
We work with the absolute best in professional 35mm digital cameras - the Canon 1DS MkIII (35mm) and sometimes the Hasselblad H3D-39mkII.

Can you attend the bride’s house to capture her preparations?
Yes, this is included in the Standard and Extended Day Coverages and there are some great photographs to be had of the ‘getting ready’ stage of the day. However, there are some issues to consider regarding timings if you would like this part of your day covered. We need to leave in plenty of time to arrive at the ceremony venue before the service, including time to park up, so you have to allow this time, plus traveling time. This allows us set-up time and time with the groom and his party before leaving him free to greet your guests and relax for half an hour before the service. Then we will be ready to capture your arrival at the venue. This time frame is absolutely vital, because delays at the start of the day can mean at best, slightly rushed photography and at worst whole areas being missed – neither of which is right for your wedding day.

Can we have both black and white and colour photographs?
Yes, we work entirely in digital cameras which offer us the flexibility to convert images to black and white at the touch of a button (or several).  It is likely that the majority of your image collection will be presented in colour, so if there is an image that you would like in black and white, you just need to ask.

As well as our wedding album, we would like some pictures from our wedding to be framed on our wall. Is this something you can do?
Of course, we offer a wide range of frames, mounting options and accessories so you can display your pictures outside of an album. We also offer an exciting new range of finishes, such as canvas, crushed leather and high gloss that can turn your pictures into truly original works of art.

How long after my wedding will I be able to see my photographs?
We expect the post production work on your wedding collection to be complete 2 - 4 weeks after your wedding date, we try to get them done before you get back from honeymoon.  At which point we will contact you to let you know your images are ready and make an appointment for you to visit our studios for your viewing, where you will also receive your low res CD.

Do you edit the images on a computer before we see them?
Yes, all of your images are edited on a computer before you see them - for example cropped and unified for colour and tone. Further to this, some shots may have some digital effect applied such as sepia toning or spot colours. All of this editing is carried out as part of our mission to make your pictures as fantastic as possible and so there is no charge for post-production service.  Following this, if you have special requests for digital manipulation these can be considered and quoted for on a case by case basis - just let us know.

How do we see our wedding photographs?
When your image collection is completed, we will contact you to arrange your viewing at our studios in Crawley Down.  There you will see a selection of your images, album presentation ideas and also receive your low resolution CD so that you can make your final image selection in the comfort of your own home.  Your images will also be uploaded to our secure web site and you will be given the password and optional address cards so that you can share them with your friends and family. 

How long do our images stay on the web site?
We keep your wedding collection on the web site for a period of 60 days.  If you require them at any point in the future, then please just contact and we can upload them again for you.

Will our photographs on the internet so all our friends and family can see them too?
Yes, we can supply you with a set of ‘address cards’ to pass onto your friends and family giving them your wedding collection password and instructions on how to access your images.  They are then free to browse or order at their leisure.

How do we choose the wedding album that we would like?
You will be able to make your final album selection when you first view your wedding images during your visit to our studios.

How do we create our final wedding album design?
The process can vary depending on the type of album that you finally select and obviously we will guide you through the process in detail at the time.  However, basically you supply us with your image selection and we will create an album layout for you.  Album creation is a relatively complex and technical area so we will ensure we have a full understanding of what you are looking for and then create the album to those specifications.  When this is complete, you will see a PDF proof to make sure that you are happy with the detail and able to make any final tweaks before the album goes into production.

Do you offer wedding albums for parents?
Yes of course, many parents want their own album to keep as a memory of your wedding day. They are welcome to come with you to your picture viewing and make their choice from the album range we offer. Alternatively we have information on the range that we can post or email to you.

How long will it take before my wedding album arrives?
Once you have selected the images you would like for your wedding album and the final proof has been approved, it will take approximately four weeks before it is ready for you.

How will we get our wedding album?
You are welcome to collect your album if you are local to the Crawley Down area. Alternatively we can arrange for it to be shipped to you - costs for this can be advised at the time, but are usually around £23 for recorded special delivery and insured.

How long will our photographs last?
All the papers our manufacturers use are guaranteed archive quality which means that they will definitely last for 70 years before any kind of fading occurs – and in all probability, if they are well stored, they will be going strong long after this period.

What if I want to order a reprint in the future?
No problem – we keep all your images for at least 3 years and in reality probably a lot longer. So if in the future you want to order more prints or even create an entirely new album, then just get in touch with us.

What venues to do you cover?
We will shoot at any venue. It does not matter a jot that we have been there before or not as we will treat each wedding as a seperate special and personal day. We certainly have favourite venues, these are

Alexander House, Rowfont House, Ashdown Park, Herstmonceux Castle, Heaver Castle, Leeds Castle, Southlodge, Langshott Manor, Deans Place, Upwaltham Barn, Gatwick Manor Hotel, Copthorne Hotel, Felbridge Hotel, Lansdowne Place Hotel, Stanmer House, The Priory, The Ravenswood, Ghyll Manor
... to name but a few!

What is your policy on cancellations?
Not that is has happened to us yet, but we recognise that sometimes circumstances mean that you have take the major step of canceling your wedding. In terms of your commitment to our photography, the following applies. You have 14 days in which you can cancel your booking free of charge and we will refund your deposit to you. If you cancel after this point the deposit is not refundable but the balance will not be charged. The balance is due 14 days prior to your wedding date and this is not refundable should you cancel after paying this.
